Use <B CLASS="COMMAND" >xscale-elf-gcc</B > and <B CLASS="COMMAND" >xscale-elf-gdb</B > for Intel Xscale targets. Use <B CLASS="COMMAND" >i386-elf-gcc</B > and <B CLASS="COMMAND" >i386-elf-gdb</B > for IA32 targets. And so on, the exact prefix to use is shown in the documentation for each target.</P ><P >Note that some versions of the GCC cross compiler generate executable files with the <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >.exe</TT > suffix on Windows, but not on Linux. The suffix <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >.exe</TT > will be omitted from executable file names, so you will see <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >hello</TT > instead of <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >hello.exe</TT >.</P ></DIV ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="ecos-licensing-previous.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="ecos-user-guide.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="directory-and-file-system-conventions.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Previous License</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="user-guide-introduction.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Directory and File System Conventions</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
